Serẽa is proud to bring an exquisite sea-to-table dining experience to San Diego in a comfortable yet sophisticated setting.
Located just steps from the beach in the legendary Hotel del Coronado, the restaurant's key focus is the bounty of the sea. The menu focuses on sustainable seafood, with a coastal cuisine menu that spotlights the best of the region's oceans, farms and fields, ranging from the California Coast down to the Baja Peninsula.
Creative cuisine with a global flair is prepared by San Diego's own Chef Jojo Ruiz, who creates elegant, fresh dishes with just a hint of Mediterranean flair.

*Serea & The Hotel Del Coronado are currently undergoing a once in a century transformation, after 100 years, we felt a facelift was in order!
We wish you to be aware there will be evolving changes to the way we are able to serve you during this period as Serea and The Hotel Del Coronado are reimagined for generations to come.*

    Terrible experience inattentive wait staff. Food was subpar for the price. Avocado toast was terrible toast burnt and unable to cut with knife. It’s a beautiful setting with a limited menu and some items not available. So many other places that offer much better food and service. Don’t waste your money.

    The setting was beautiful. Although we did not get all the food that we ordered, the food that was delivered was very good. Unfortunately, we had the worst service ever. The food that was delivered was served one hour after being ordered, and only because we were finally able to catch the waiter’s attention to inquire about what had happened to our order. Several tables that arrived after we did were served way before us. Our waiter was not attentive and seemed to be over his head, so he probably mishandled our order, but blamed the kitchen for it. Our order of eggs Benedict was cold, so we returned it, but the waiter never took the initiative to have the kitchen make a new order. While the waiter compensated some items, he never really owned up what we perceived to have been his mistakes and he also never made an effort to fix the problems we experienced. Some of us left hungry.

    It is beautiful and the food is delicious but pricey for the portion size. The ambience cannot be beat! However, our dinner took 2.5 hours to be served and we did not order that many things. That was disappointing!

    It was fine. Not worth the money food wise. Beautiful view. But food and service were just okay. Not worth a $250 bill for 2 people for mediocre food

    We celebrated my birthday with a special treat being next to the ocean at Serea. I’m from the Mediterranean and it brought back memories I used to experience with my family as a child. This is truly the only restaurant that gives you the authentic vibe of any restaurant in the Mediterranean. The atmosphere and whole fish is a must to try next time you’re visiting Serea
